Dear colleagues,
On behalf of Angelo Moreno (ENEA – Italy) and myself (Chimie-ParisTech – France), we
would like to invite you to participate to the:
"2011 International Workshop on Molten Carbonates & Related Topics"
(MCFC, DCFC, SOFC/MCFC, CO2 capture...).
It will be held in
Chimie-ParisTech (in joint organization with ENEA), Paris, France
21-22 of March 2011
As you well know, molten carbonates science & technology is in the heart of several important
applications in the field of energy generation and carbon dioxide capture and exploitation. It is also
directly related to the carbon cycle, in continuity with the highly fruitful symposium held in Naples on
12-13 July 2010. This workshop is addressed to researchers, engineers from industry, developers and
European and international players in the field of energy production with reduced CO2 emission.
The fields considered are the following:
- Molten carbonate science: experimental and theoretical approach.
- Molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC).
- Direct Carbon Fuel Cell (DCFC).
- Hybrid Direct Carbon Fuel Cell (HDFC).
- Hybrid fuel cells with composite electrolytes (solid oxide and carbonates).
- Carbon dioxide capture and/or separation.
- Other topics such as catalysis, clean-up, carbon deposition, synthesis of materials, thermal
treatments.
Plenary lectures will be given by international specialists in the mentioned fields.
Oral presentations will be given by researchers and developers.
A selection of papers mentioning the workshop will be peer-reviewed by the International Journal of
Hydrogen Energy.
Fees, excluding travel and hotel, are of 180 Euros (including meals, dinner and documents).
With my best regards,
Professor Michel Cassir

Austenitic 316L and 310S stainless steels are the most commonly used materials for the construction of
bipolar plate components in the Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC) technology because of compromise between
corrosion resistance and oxide scale resistivity at 650°C under standard MCFC operating conditions. In detail, 310S
steel exhibits a much slower oxide growth rate, although 316L steel is sometimes preferred as its oxide scale has a
higher electrical conductivity [1]. The corrosion resistance of these steels basically relies on the rapid formation of a
protective passive oxide scale that is able to suppress the outward diffusion of base-metal cations (mainly, iron) into
the molten electrolyte. The two-layered structure of the passive scale consists of an external LiFeO2 layer and an
inner Cr-rich oxide layer. The passivity of stainless steels depends on the stability of this inner layer [1,2]. In the
case of the high-Cr Type 310S steel (ca. 25 wt%), the Cr-rich oxide layer is composed mainly of a compact, thin
and corrosion resistant layer of LiCrO2 which strongly hinders the iron diffusion, thus limiting the growth of the
external LiFeO2 layer. Conversely, the 316L steel forms an inner high conductive spinel layer mainly consisting of
LiFe5O8 and FeCrO4 phases. The spinel layer is less effective in retarding the outer iron diffusion, thus leading to a
faster growth of the external LiFeO2 layer and to an overall higher thickness of the scale [1,3].
Since MCFC stack operations usually give large temperature variations (580-700°C) along the surface of
bipolar plates it would be important to evaluate the steel corrosion as a function of temperature, although this aspect
has been scarcely investigated in literature. For instance, the authors of [2,4] report that the corrosion of 316L steel
becomes highly sensitive on the reaction conditions in the eutectic Li+Na carbonate melt. At temperatures lower
than 600°C this steel seems to be more susceptible to corrosion showing pitting-like attack expecially in high CO2
gases. Obviously, this result could represent a real concern for the use of the 316L steel in alternative alkali
carbonate compositions based on the Li+Na electrolyte.
As part of a work aimed to analyze the corrosion behavior of 316L and 310S steels in Li+K and Li+Na
carbonates, we will present some results on the stability of the passive scale forming on 310S stainless steel surface
in Li+K melt in the temperature range 580-700°C. This study has been conducted by electrochemical methods with
emphasis to the measurements of passivation rates and anodic polarization curves.
